Brief introduction of TEF and TCF in French study abroad examination

It is compulsory to apply for studying in France by computer test. The current policy is to take the TEF or TCF exam, and only on the day of the exam will you know what you are taking. This is mainly to reduce the influence of "machine classics" on your grades, so that candidates can get a more real level. TEF and TCF of French study abroad exam are introduced. The following articles are compiled by me, hoping to help you.

To participate in TEF/TCF, you need to register online. In addition to legal holidays, TEF and TCF basically take exams every week according to the number of applicants. At present, there are five test sites in Chinese mainland, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Chengdu.

The TCF score is 699, and the French major can pass 400 points in his senior year, which is a very good result.

TEF out of 900, with deduction. If the answer is wrong, the score will be lowered. Senior students with good French major can pass 500 points.

The premise of this test score is that it does not rely on machine classics.

The scores of TEF and TCF are mainly used to apply for a study visa in France. Examination fee 1200. If the score is too low, you can pay to retake the exam. After the visa is over, the score is basically abolished.

The examination policies of TEF and TCF have been changing steadily for many years. For example, the recent policy will take the oral test, while the previous policy only requires listening, vocabulary grammar and reading comprehension.
